"There are no longer any gods whom we can invoke to help us.
The great religions of the world suffer from increasing anemia, because
the helpful numina have fled from the woods, rivers, and mountains, and
from animals, and the god-men have disappeared underground into
he unconscious. There we fool ourselves that they lead an ignominious
existence among the relics of our past. Our present lives are dominated
by the goddess Reason, who is our greatest and most tragic illusion."
